Tick, Tock, Tick…

Time is running out!

If you are a Connecticut voter we need your help!

The legislative session end June 5th and there are LGBTQ+ bills in the House and Senate that needs to be voted on before the end of the session.

The bills that have a chance…

HB-7359 AN ACT CONCERNING A LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES NETWORK.
Passed in the House and is on the Senate calendar --- Very good chance of passing
Legislation Update

SB-58 AN ACT CONCERNING GAY AND TRANSGENDER PANIC DEFENSE.
The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and is on the House calendar

SB-388 AN ACT CONCERNING A PERSON'S INTERSEX STATUS OR CHARACTERISTICS.
The bill passed unanimously in the Senate and is on the House calendar

The bills that probably will never pass…

HB-5505 AN ACT CONCERNING THE UPDATING OF STATE FORMS AND GENDER IDENTITY.
It is on the House calendar but with only seven days left in the session this bill is all but dead.

HB-6219 AN ACT CONCERNING SAFE BATHROOM FACILITIES AT SCHOOLS FOR GENDER NONCONFORMING STUDENTS.
Never made it out of committee

How to help?

Call, email, text, write a letter, send a bouquet of flowers, hire a plane with a banner… whatever but we need to get the bills a vote in their chambers, all the bills that have a chance need a push from us, the voters… so please contact your legislators. You can find them here.
